Velata Giveaway

11/24/2012

This giveaway is now CLOSED!

The winner has been chosen and is named on the Rafflecopter box below! Congeratulations! Jana, who sponsored this post was so happy with the response she wanted to offer a couple more Velata warmers to giveaway as well!! Wahoo! Here are the other two winners! As always, you have 48 hours to claim your winnings!

Are you familiar with Velata? Well, you should be! Last April, I was lucky enough to be chosen to participate in a small focus group. In this group we were able to sample the new Velata Warmers and chocolates. I was so impressed by the amazing quality and taste of the chocolates. I liked them all, but my favorite was the Caramel Milk Chocolate! YUM!

I also couldn’t believe how easy it was to use the Velata warmers. Simply open the pouch and pour the chocolate or caramel right into the special Velata warmer dishes and let the chocolate warm up to the perfect smooth and creamy consistency.

We set out in search of the world’s most perfect, blow-your-mind chocolate. Our journey took us to (where else) Belgium — the world capital of fine chocolate. We found the perfect chocolate with the purest ingredients and the velvetiest (sometimes you have to invent a word) consistency. The kind of chocolate fondue you want to dip into, heart and soul.

Perfect chocolate needs a perfect melt! So we invented a patent-pending silicone dish heated by a light bulb in a hip, fun, smart fondue warmer. Who else but Scentsy could find a hip, fun, smart way to use a light bulb?

Whether you are a foodie, a trendsetter, or just someone who thinks of chocolate as its own food group, Velata fondue products are for you.

Take a dip in indulgent Velata chocolate. Once you’re hooked, make sure to take a look at the Velata opportunity. You never know, you may make a life out of your love of chocolate.

For my birthday my daughter gave me art on canvas; a tree made from her arm and hand dipped in paint and my grandsons supplied the leaves with their hands. Off to the side is a butterfly using my granddaughters itty bitty feet.

My favorite gifts are the things my son makes me. Even though he is grown up he still blesses me with something he made. Last year it was a portfolio of his drawings and paintings from a college design class he took. So far that has been my favorite gift ever.

As strange as it seems, the best gift I ever received was the birth of my son on Christmas day. My ONLY son, who was welcomed into our family by his 3 sisters. Later a 4th sister came along. He is my favorite son.

My favorite Christmas gifts are the ones from my daughter. The best one was the year she gave me my own blog so that I could be sure to never lose another recipe again in my huge stack of paper recipes!

The best gift I remember giving was when I was a preteen. My family had the opportunity to help out kids with diabetes in another country. My brothers , sister and I all gave the allowance we had been saving for months to buy each others gifts, and donated it all to charity. That was the best gift we recieved too.

The best gift I ever got were all the little gifts my sons would get me every year…I really don’t remember what they were..they were tchotchkes really but they meant the world because they would gather up all their dimes and nickels to buy me a gift & then ever so carefully wrap it up as kids do with lots of paper & tape! :)Good memories!

The best gift I ever gave was a scrapbook to my mother of my brother that had passed away. It was very meaningful and now that she has passed it is mine and one of the things I cherish very mcuh. Happy Holidays!

The best gift I ever received was the gift of friendship. My husband passed away and the people i thought would be there for me were not! But an aquaintance of mine went ot of her way to be there for me and we became quite close. Her gift of friendsip will never be forgotten!

I got the pot belly teddy bear I SOOOOO wanted when I was 10. That was fantastic. I also had a very thoughtful friend give me a rice cooker when she found out I had to eat gluten free. 12 yeas later I still use it all the time. It was thoughtful and ever so practical.

The best gift I ever received was a spoon. Sounds simple but it isn’t. In England they have these spoons Called Welsh Love Spoons. They are carved from on piece of wood and every symbol on it means something. I bought one, spending hours picking out the symbols that meant something to me. On our move back from overseas it got lost. A couple of years later my husband got online and researched where he could buy one and get it sent to the US. He picked all the symbols and had this one engraved with our names and anniversary. I had no idea. I had figured that it was lost forever. The original one is. The second one has less stuff on it but means so much more to me because my husband went through so much to find it for me and to surprise me with it. There is a reason we have been married fro 27 years.

The best gift I ever gave to someone was to an elderly patient at the optometry office I worked in at the time. He had low vision and he needed a special type of magnifier to read. However, due to a very limited income, he could not afford to purchase one. I bought the magnifier for him and mailed it to him somewhat anonymously…he just knows it came from our office. He was so happy to finally be able to read, but so confused about why we just gave him one, the next time he came in. It made me smile to help him.

I would love to win one of these. I love to entertain and this would make a great edition to a sweet table. The greatest gift I received was my husband. Today is our 25th Anniversary, he is my best friend and confidant. Couldn’t ask for anyone better for me.

We gather with the extended family often and this would be a hub of fun and yumminess at our gatherings..everyone would enjoy- from Grammy down to the youngest grandchild..wow! Thanks for the giveaway..how sweet :)

a hamster. i gave my youngest a hamster. the summer before last, i made a deal with all 3 girls, learn “X” (academic goals) and you may have a pet of your own; now, you need to know i made this deal specifically because the youngest was struggling horribly with sight words and i knew she desperately wanted a hamster so it was a good carrot, but i couldn’t make the offer to her only, so incentives for all. youngest tried mightily, continuing to struggle and sadly, did not achieve her goal. there were tears. lots of them. especially when the other 2 got their pets. it was horrible because i knew how hard she had tried. fast forward to the new school year. i had her tested because she excelled academically in all areas except reading and writing….it just seemed like there was a disconnect somewhere. best thing i ever did. turns out she has a pretty major learning disability. so for christmas last year, she got a hamster.

I have re ceived many wonderful gifts in my life, but the best gift I’ve received has been the gift of my family! My sister was born just 2 days after my 10th birthday and my first child was born right after christmas! Very memorable gigfts.

My fiance and I met when he was on his two week leave from Afghanistan. As soon as we met, it seemed like he had to go back–but as soon as he got there, he sent me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen. That was so special to me and a memory that I will cherish forever.

I would have to say it was the barbie doll house that my mom and dad built for me and my 2 sisters when we were little. It had a shingle roof, wood siding, a porch with pillars, the works. It was awesome! A lot of love went into making that gift and we loved playing with it!

Best gift was a gift from my mom the year before she passed away – a lovely set of old ice cream dishes. She wrote out the story of how she remembered them from her childhood. They had been given to her by her mom, too. Very old dishes, very wonderful stories!

Last year I received a brand new Singer sewing machine. By far the best thing I’ve received in a long, long time! I gave my husband Beats headphones when he wasn’t expecting them. That’s what makes gift giving fun! Thanks!

Saw these at a holiday fair… just can’t do it right now. hoping that we find employment soon. With that said, i think my best gift was a couple years back a tiffany necklace. The box, the ribbon the velvet pouch… perfection!

When I was in middle school all I wanted was a silver necklace, no fancy pendants or anything, just a chain. My mom told me she didn’t think that it was a good gift at that time, but come Christmas morning I had a beautiful silver chain in my stocking. I have hardly taken it off since then.

The best gift I’ve ever given was when I “borrowed” my husbands car for the day and had speakers put into his headrests. A week later I put a mixed tape, yes that’s how long ago this was, into the cassette player, turned the speakers on and left a note that said “play me.” It took him a few minutes to realize where the awesome sound was coming from.

The best gift that my daughter gave was when she collected pennies for a domestic violence shelter and called it “Penny Love”. At christmas we went to the dollar store and bought toiletries, toys, and all kinds of things for them, wrapped and delivered together, it was an amazing feeling! I was so proud of her.

This looks delish!
The best gift I ever received was a canvas print of the first picture of my son in the NICU(I didn’t get to see him when he was born so it was the best gift ever!)
Thank you for the opportunity!

Hard to choose just one! My favorite gift is probably the earring and necklace set that my husband bought me when we were first married. He bought me the same set BEFORE we were married & I lost the necklace on our honeymoon, hiking @ Zions.

The best gift I’ve ever received was a honeymoon from my parents. I was getting married 2 days after Christmas and we could not afford to go anywhere for a honeymoon since we were students, so my parents wrapped up a suitcase and when we opened it there was cash, airline tickets and hotel reservations tucked neatly inside. It has always been a cherished gift of love from them.

My favorite gifts I have given and received were each very thoughtful. My favorite gift I have given was for my husband. He was about to start his first year of law school and we were moving to a new state where we didn’t know anyone. I knew he was really stressed out about everything and his birthday was coming up, so I had all of his family members, some of mine, and his close friends from different stages in life right letters to him about favorite memories with David. Most included a picture or pictures. In secret I put it all together in a scrapbook and of course included my own letter. My husband cried like a baby when he saw it! It is now a very cherished book in our home.

My favorite gift is really going to date me but it was a Suzy Homemaker! How many remember it? I actually still have in the attic in my parents’ home! I really thought I was hot stuff baking real cakes and all!

My favorite gift was finding out I was going to be a grandma for the second time. I received a nursery rhyme book with a ultrasound picture inside. It said Grandma x 2 and I thought it was twins. But it was for Grandma 2nd time. Now I have 6 grandchildren and love every minute when we can visit each other.

Last year I hand-made metal jewelry for all my female family members and friends. It was a huge time commitment, but seeing their faces when they got a one-of-a-kind gift made especially for them was incredibly sweet!

The best gift I ever received was when my husband bought me some new running shoes for my birthday, and left them for me to wake up in the morning and find when I was getting ready to go for my morning run.

When I was 6 and receive a cabbage patch kid at the foot of my bed. I was so in awe that Santa came in my room while I was asleep and placed it on my bed! As an adult a pair of earring from my husband.
